Jonathan & Drew Scott, if you stumble across this and you're interested in doing a kitchen renovation in Cleveland, holla' at me! Brian can help -- he'll be your long lost triplet. Fans will eat it up!! Advertisers will love it. Just call me. I NEED to get rid of these oak cabinets, stat!

I bought my first ever rolls of washi tape recently. I think I only spent 2 1/2 hours trying to decide what colors and patterns to choose. It's impressive I actually placed the order. Usually I get decision lock-up and abandon my online orders. But hey, it's 2013 and for me that means less talking more doing. Or in this case, more buying.

I plan to use them for a big calendar project that is currently in the state of procrastination (errr, too much talking on this one...) So in the meantime, to feel productive, I used some of it to make mini bunting for a little chalkboard easel. There we go... doing!

I have a thing for look-alikes. I dabble in celebrity doppelganger comparisons, but I tend to do a lot of "You look like my brother's friend's sister's husband" or "You look like the cashier who works the customer service desk at Target on Mayfield Road."

I'd hate to not share this amazing talent with the world, so I present to you Twinsie Tuesdays. I can't guarantee that all these random people will allow me to take their pictures, so for the first-ever Twinsie Tuesday post I am featuring two people who have no choice, my second born child and his cartoon twin, Linus.

The book section at Goodwill aint too shabby. I like to dig for books with colorful spines to use in decorating.

I also like kids books with fun illustrations that could be cut out and used as artwork.

This dog looks like the dog we used to have, Sam-boy:

I should expand my "celebrity look-alike" talents to pets!

Christmas stuff was on super clearance! Hopefully I still like this stuff 348 days from now. (If you're doing the math in your head to see if I am even close to the # of days util Christmas, just go here and see for yourself.)

More cheese domes!! These are an inexpensive DIY alternative to cloches and dessert pedestals from places like Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma. I'll be sassin' these two up for my next DIY Goodwill project.

After all that, I still wanted to do more shopping. I was on a thrifting high and still had about 20 minutes before I had to head home so I quickly stopped at another thrift store down the road.

What a surprise, I got another...

Cheese dome! This one is a mini and has a cute little nob at the top.

And lastly, a fave find from the whole day, this yellow and white chevron afghan for only $2.50!!

My husband and a few of his friends pick one day during the holiday break to have an all-day "guy-fest" of sorts. Basically it's like a day for them to pretend they're in college again. He always comes home saying it's one of the most awesome days of the year.

He posed an interesting question to me after this year's guy-fest. He said "what would be your equivalent to a day like this?"

No brainer.

Spending an entire day out thrift shopping!

So, although I didn't spend the entire day, I did spend 4 hours this past Monday at Goodwill of Akron, and every minute of it was pure pure joy. It was my version of guy-fest minus the guys and minus the fest. Just me, my coffee and a shopping cart full of somethings.
